No. Did it when I was at uni as was in the TA. Didn't want to do it as I though I was going to get stuffed (having not played rugby for 5 years) but it worked out ok.

So did we! Unfortunately they fielded a couple of Kiwi and Aussies - we got trounced.!

. . . or possibly a combination of shallots and scallions (spring onions)?

I've ordered dishes with them in about 5 times now, and each time I'm like "ewwww - that's chewy fishy stuff, yuk". I think I must get them confused with shallots.

That's shallot!

Usually called at last orders!

Btw, chewy scallops are overcooked.

At one stage I almost believed Cailin was a female... and not a guy called Barry from Southend.

I also took SAS seriously about rugby at one point.

You embarrassing admissions please

Maybe you didn't know Loch Ness had a monster?
Or the moon wasn't made of cream cheese?

Personally, I didn't know SASguru's ethnicity was Downs Syndrome, I therefore offer him a heart felt apology for not being more understanding.

Discuss or not

AndyW etc.

So you're Downs Syndromist. I knew it!
